I found this very interesting video (see below) on eHow.com regarding the use of women's pantyhose as a first layer of clothing while hunting/camping in sub-zero temperatures. Rich McNutt (appearing in video) is the author of “Hunter’s Choices: Choices You Can Make to Improve Your Big Game Hunting Success.” He's also a past president of the Red Rock Bowmen Club and has extensive public speaking experience on hunting and outdoors issues.Of course, I'm working on getting Rich information on ACTIVSKIN Legwear and it's applications for hunting, fishing and camping in cold weather. You can view Rich's profile and other videos here (click link)

I am men wearing men'tights from Russia. Male in tights it's very normal stile. My favorite tights - Comfilon with fly opening for spring and summer and ERGOLAN for winter. Best wishes for men in tghts!

I work In the wind turbine industry, It is not uncommon having to climber 300' straight up 2 to 6 times a day, then days where temperatures range from below 0 to trip digit summer heat! Talk about muscle fatigue and soreness I have found that wearing pantyhose like tights, compression or supportive hose or stockings makes the climbs easier on muscle stamina and helps with muscle recovery faster and easier with minimal soreness, now as for those cold winter days below 0 it was a great for a base layer! Nothing like tights, stocking and pantyhose, the only wish I have is a fire resistant rating so they are accepted by employers where fire rated clothing is needed!

I can honestly say that tights are okay to a point for the cold. I have used black tights for cycling under cycling shorts where I liked the result but similar to leggings anyway.

Under jeans or trousers/pants to walk around I found them at times frustrating as they fall down and make the jeans slide down as well.

I ride horses. I found tights under jodhpurs for extra warmth is okay, but not really actively schooling but just hacking out where you can sit and not work. Sometimes being around horses on cold yards can be very cold so woollen tights are more useful for a layered breathable effect. I find jodhpurs by themselves do the job anyway. I prefer tight jodhpurs are something I like naturally as they do grip my legs for compression but also I like the feel and look.

The items we wear are designed and do the things we need the clothes to do regardless.

Wear Your Legwear with Confidence

Winning Hearts & Minds...

ACTIVSKIN Legwear makes a bold proposition--that support tights and sheer hose are as well-suited to men as they are to women. Men are just as likely to have tired, achy legs or need some additional warmth, but haven't had the benefit of comfortable, reasonably priced legwear--until now. ACTIVSKIN fills that gap by providing a masculine alternative. You could say we're all about changing hearts & minds--from pantyhose to mantyhose...

*What's This About The Nylon Gene?...

Someone once noted that, "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who have 'the nylon gene' and those who don't." While DNA might not really be to blame, the fact is, Men's Legwear is a real phenomenom that's moved from The Fringe to The Edge and now appears poised to break into the public consciousness in bigger ways as more and more guys are now willing to at least give it a go. We at ACTIVSKIN have watched sales increase through 2008 and 2009 despite the nation's continuing financial woes.

Here at 'The Nylon Gene' we're scratching beneath the surface of the emerging men's legwear trend. We're looking to explore it from all perspectives and solicit candid opinions and critiques from those who've only just discovered there is such a thing, as well as those who have been wearing it for years. The media (TV, Radio, Print, Online...) have been paying pretty close attention of late, and we want to make sure that the complete picture is getting to our friends out there who are writing and talking about it and shaping public perceptions. So, pull up a keyboard and tell us what you think.
